We have played sports at these fields for years, but my favorite spots are the trails to the river. We like to visit during rainy season for some awesome puddle jumping, best around in my opinion!

Tons of parking. Nice trails and pretty clean. Gets a little busy in the summer. Some people get a little rambunctious near the river but otherwise a good family atmosphere.

Awesome views and a huge open space for whatever not to mention hiking trails and a playground for the kids plus restrooms

Gorgeous views , pleasant hike large playground and soccer fields and river access. Great place to spend a little time or and all day getaway

Nice park. Very popular. Lots of people doing lots of things. A lot more people are wearing masks these days when walking the trails and playing on the playground, but not everyone...

Great river access on a trail running alongside the water. Many water access points and sandy beach areas. Very busy on the weekends with sporting events. Nice day hangout.

If your looking to have a good time I suggest checking out the river beach at pioneer Park on a hot day!

Great place to sun yourself, float the river or just plant your chair in the river and watch the people float by. Thats exactly what my cousin and I did when we were there. Perfect for a small family or a large family reunion.

Always fun and great here! If you show up around 2 pm itll be really crowded with people and little to no parking. Plan ahead, show up early for good parking and good spot on the river. Good spots dont last here!

Spectacular park. Huge field, great playground, nice trails. And the best part tubing on the slow moving and shallow river and the beach on the side.

The weather was great. Many places to swim in the river. People floating down and all were friendly and having a good time.

Its a great place to go for family events or for river rafting it. It is also big enough so that social distancing is easily observed and a great place for rock hounding

Great little park right in a neighborhood, plus fun to find hidden painted rocks!

Easy walking paths near the river good for all seasons

This is the best place:) has everything for my kids to have fun!

Love this park. So many places to walk and see the river. Easy walking with a dog. Nice to picnic as well... when possible (not currently during covid19 times).

This is a great place to go if you have children plenty of room to run around people sre friend they have restrooms that are out of the way though. Nice huge soccer field and if you go down the trails you can go swimming and tubing or walk your pets. Plenty of trash cans so you never have to search for those.

Love it here. Always meet good people and have a great time. The water is clean as well as the paths

Theres a few handicap parking places. The trail leading to the river is manual wheelchair friendly as long as you have the heart. It took me about 15 min or so to navigate over the gravel. Great park. Also good for pokemon go

Great sports complex and hiking trails. Minimal shade but has a kids playground.

Just went down and did the float from one end of the park to the other nice and refreshing.

Cute park, with scenic trails. There are bathrooms, a playground, a volleyball area, and a baseball field. There is plenty of space to spread out/run around. Great place to walk your dog or hangout.

Its cool a little too much white trash and tweeters for me but other than that its fine.

Beautiful area. Great park for kids with huge fields for sporting events. Also a lot of trails right on the river, and a lot of sand bed to set up for a day of relaxation in the sun. Toys are pretty far from water. Only gripe is how far the restroom is.

Lovely! Great playground, plus sports fields and public bathrooms. Bathrooms arent always the cleanest, so I cant award 5 stars, but it also has a gazebo and abundant parking.

Perfect spot for a photo shoot - oh, and floating down the river. Haha.

Great park and multiple access points to the river near by! Wonderful for a quick day out adventure that is close to home for those who live in the Olympia area

It is a clean park and family friendly. Nice little trails to walk, very peaceful.

Very beautiful peaceful loving the sound of the water lots of room for the kids to play

Wish the Tumwater Falls was open so we could enjoy tubing all the way instead of just half. Still enjoyable float.

Good place to go during CoViD Madness, especially EARLY in the mornings. Not great after about 0930

The toy are good and the walks are fun with my little one

I love going here to fish and to float the river nothing like a good swim and a little bit of floating to cool off on a hot summer day

Cool little trail that leads to multiple water fronts. Lots of snakes (NON VENOMOUS)

So many things to say about this place. The trails are great although the rocks can be a little rough on the doggy paws. Once you reach the water, its amazing. A few different spots to let the dog play in the water but I dont wanna give up my spots so youll have to do some exploring to find them. Whether its a walk, jog, or splash in the water, this is a great spot!

Great place for a walk, or a swim. I love it. My dog loves it!

Beautiful park with nice paths by the river. This is the most awesome park the more I explore the more I love it. Three beach areas along the river and we keep finding more trails to explore. Really enjoy spending time with my dog here and meeting lots of other dogs having fun. Looks like a great place for tubing as well.

Great float with pretty calm waters, a little cloudy of water though

Just simply went river rafting it was nice to get away

I love this park because there are nice walking trails, its clean, and easy access to the river. Its a great place to go with kids to float in the summer! It takes about an hour the water is very mellow so you dont have to stress to much about anything bad happening.

This is a great park for the kids and adults alike. In the summer it’s standing room only. Lots of little people screaming in delight enjoying the structures. A must see if you have little ones or a grandparent visiting who want to take the grandkids somewhere fun and memorable for you both.

Nice trails to the riverbank

Great place to go walking and playing sports

Nice place to be on the edge of the river. Swimming and tubing or just hanging there is very relaxing.Please keep our environment clean and healthy by taking what you bring with you back and not damaging the ground or the plants. Be respectful of others and share this beautiful place peacefully.

This is a nice park with a river. You can tube down the river. Lots of space for activities.

We went to piner park to float the river the river was pretty shallow and slow in most spots and about halfway down there are some fallen trees in which you have to climb over with your rafs to get to the other side of the river to continue floating all in all it was fun

Nice park. Good open field, playground, volleyball nets, picnic tables.

Fun river spot.

A local favorite with many activities ranging from playgrounds, soccer, tennis, floating down the deschutes river and beautiful walking trails. Though, there has been a large influx of aggressive outsiders that have moved to the area, presumably from southwestern states, that seem to be ruining what was once great about the P.N.W.

Great place to float down the river, though due to coronavirus, tumwater falls is currently closed. The only way out of tumwater falls is if you hop a fence. And tumwater falls is most peoples preferred exit from the river.

Hot day, cool water, and good people! Who could ask for MORE?!

Great trails, thanks to those that committed their time to plant the wonderful vegetation.

Great to have a place thats close where the whole family can get out and appreciate some of the things we have in our own back yards. The river was refreshing with the heat, theres enough space for everyone without disturbing families or other people around you, and more importantly, the people were great and well behaved. My daughter loves it there and we will definitely be returning.

Love bringing the kids here.

Nice clean park with an area to float the river.

Great park for swimming, biking, playing, walking, and playing sports. The only downside is that it doesnt have basketball courts.

It is a mad house on hot days with soccer and people floating the Deschutes.

Great place the whole family can enjoy

Great parking and easy river access.

Favorite place to play at the river!! Definitely top 3

Great place for kids

Love this place a lot. Love going here during the summer. Their are trails leading to the river.

Great park my grandson 5th Birthday

Nice and clean. Good playground.

Amazing time fishing along the creek

The location is pleasant and calming, with fields and woods all around the park. The amenities, like the bathrooms and playground, are sufficient but nothing spectacular. The wooded trails are the real highlight.

Nice Park! Grandson had a blast!

Great family park w nature trails and a playground.

Floated down the river, lots of fun.

Nice park, ample parking, clean facilities

Place was amazing beautiful, very nice place to walk and the river was a nice touch first time here and I enjoyed it

Having a picnic at noon and the sprinklers kicked on and got my grandson which scared him and got our lunch wet. Not sure why they would be in at noon near the picnic area.

Always a good time, getting to meet new people either floating the river or just enjoying time on the bank. Sometimes a bit crowded, but doesnt necessarily detract from the experience. Every time I go I come away from the experience with a new friend or I see an old one. All in all a great time all around

Great park fun for all ages dog friendly

Excellent for kidd, yet, it was crowded on Saturday and nobody is wearing a mask!!!

Really awesome park with river access.

Went for the playground. My toddler enjoyed it. Good equipment, showing some age. Plenty of open space, soccer fields and baseball diamonds. Walking trails look nice.

Great park! Fun for floating the river, pokemoning, soccer, parties, or just playing with your kids

Public restroom reviewPioneer Park, TumwaterOdor: neutralStall door latch: loose but very stout.Toilet condition: single stainless steel toilet in good condition with strong flushCleanliness: very goodMirror: just a piece of stainless steelLighting: fluorescent, but well lit in generalOverall: 7/7, a shining beacon of public toiletness

Great service and great people!

Its the beat place to go for walking trails, playing with your kids at the park and river swimming!

Fun to float, swim, relax and explore. Can be overcrowded at times but people generally keep to themselves. almost stepped on a dead fish last time lol eww

Lots of trails and parking Great swimming spots all along the water

This is such a great summer place near lacey. Tons of parking, soccer fields, hiking and walking trails as well as of course, the river! Make a day out of this one guys and pack the cooler and rafts/tubes there is a rocky beach in a ways where you can set up in the sun or shade with riverfront access and chill the day away!

Great place to cool off!

We started baseball and soccer practice here this year for our kids. The baseball field has been freshly grated before every practice! Also, there is playground, so our little one has a place to play while we are watching.

Nice playground clean river

Enough trails to keep most dogs happy, plenty of baseball and soccer fields so they never seem crowded, and a playground for kids to climb and slide and burn off some energy. Great park.

I will have to give it a 3 and a 1/2 star.. Had a great time, but the bathroom is a bit to far from the park, seems the little ones dont make it in time a lot. Kids had lots of fun playing, wish it could have a 2nd bathroom by the playground. $75.00 For the covered area and the big barbie-Q for the day. Great place for a birthday party, or get together, worth the money. Only disappointment is the bathroom be all the way across the park.

Very nice park. Tables under shaded area is on a first come. Lots of sun with minimum shade so bring something that will protect you from the elements.

Great cleans paths to walk my dog. New to the park, so I need to research if restrooms and if drinking water (for my dog) is available. Very family-friendly.

Super fun trails leading to a river!!!

Awesome river spot for floating

Food is good, service is great, but I like my pizza hot right from the oven. Because they were busy, my meal wasnt as hot as I would have liked.

Not enough shade, especially for parents watching their kids. We had to leave after ten minutes, it was so hot. The tank and the memorial were cool though...

Excellent and very busy

Nice place to visit. You can fish or tube down river. Just be careful on trails next to water (land may collapse due to water erosion)

Has woods, river and small walk/hike trails. 4 baseball diamonds and 3 larg fields. Kids play ground. Park is well maintained by the city of Tumwater. And its popular

It was beautiful. The water is down, so you can walk around

Lovely beaches and access to the river, theres a few different spots and they are all quite nice! It can be a bit cold but its definitely worth a trip on a warmer day!
